Site Background
The ±31-acre Site at 1611 Talleyrand Avenue lies on the west bank of the St. Johns River in the predominantly industrial port of Jacksonville. Kerr-McGee and its predecessors used the Site to manufacture, formulate, package, and distribute fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides from 1893 to 1978. Site contaminants—primarily pesticides and metals—are present in soil, sediment, and groundwater at concentrations that may pose a threat to human health and the environment.
Planned Cleanup
The major cleanup phase is expected to begin in early 2025. The Operable Unit 1 Remedial Action will address soil, groundwater, sediment, and surface water impacted by Site-related contamination. The cleanup will implement the EPA-selected remedy in the 2016 Record of Decision. Find the OU1 Remedial Action fact sheet and other materials on our website here.

The Multistate Trust assumed responsibility for the Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp – Jacksonville Superfund Site, investigating and remediating the Site, and facilitating its beneficial, sustainable reuse.
